Match statistics (Atletico Paranaense vs Mirassol):
In a thrilling encounter at the Morumbi Stadium, Atletico Paranaense overturned a first-half deficit to secure a 2-1 victory over Sao Paulo. Artur's early goal for the home side in the 19th minute seemed to set the tone, but the visitors had other plans.
Sao Paulo dominated possession with 70% and registered 18 total shots compared to Atletico's 11. However, it was the away side that capitalized on their chances, with Leozinho scoring twice shortly after the break, first equalizing in the 46th minute and then putting his team ahead just five minutes later.

Despite their offensive efforts, they managed only 3 shots on target, while Atletico matched them in that department. Defensively, Sao Paulo committed 7 fouls, while Atletico's aggressive approach led to 15 fouls and a yellow card for Arthur Dias.
This match serves as a reminder that possession does not always equate to victory. Atletico Paranaense's tactical adjustments at halftime proved crucial, allowing them to seize control and snatch the three points away from home.
Sao Paulo has shown mixed results in their last ten matches, with a record of 3 wins, 3 draws, and 4 losses. They have scored a total of 8 goals while conceding 10, averaging 0.8 goals per game. Their recent form includes a win against Boston River in the CONMEBOL Sudamericana, but they suffered a loss to Remo in their last Serie A match.

They have scored 8 goals and conceded 10, averaging 0.8 goals per game as well. Their last match was a loss against RB Bragantino in a friendly, indicating a need for improvement.

Recent matches have shown that both teams struggle to maintain clean sheets, with both teams scoring in 53% of their encounters.
Both teams have similar statistics in terms of goals scored and conceded in their recent matches, indicating a balanced matchup. However, Sao Paulo's performance at home could give them a slight advantage, especially considering their possession stats, which have been higher than Atletico Paranaense's in recent games.
Tactically, Sao Paulo may focus on maintaining possession and controlling the midfield, while Atletico Paranaense could adopt a more counter-attacking approach, looking to exploit any gaps left by Sao Paulo's attacking play. Set pieces could also be a critical factor, given both teams' recent performances in this area.
